Abstract
The paper compares methods of quantitative analysis of continuous-process regulation. It complements the paper by C. E. Mason (17) by comparing the quantitative approach proposed by him with that of other writers, both American and foreign. The fundamental considerations underlying process analysis and the simplifying assumptions necessary to facilitate mathematical approach are investigated. The equations of the regulator are defined and then combined with those for the process. The results are presented in tabulated form to permit making a critical analysis. Only single-capacity processes are considered in this paper, and the consideration of multiple-capacity processes as well as the critical analysis is reserved for a later time.Keywords
